What is positive reinforcement?

  1. Changing an existing behavior

  2. Rewarding a response to encourage more of that response

  3. Ignoring a behavior in order to discourage it

  4. Punishing a behavior in order to discourage it

The correct answer is: Rewarding a response to encourage more of that response

Positive reinforcement is a method of increasing the likelihood of a behavior being repeated by rewarding that behavior. This means that giving a reward, such as praise or a treat, after a desired behavior is exhibited will encourage the person or animal to continue to exhibit that behavior. Choices A and D refer to different types of punishment, while choice C describes ignoring a behavior as a means of discouraging it. None of these options accurately describe positive reinforcement.
